He seemed to be losing momentum due to a second part of the season where he showed himself less. But perhaps yesterday's match will help reshuffle the cards for the Draft. Zacharie Risacher in any case released his best career performance during the quarter-final return between Nanterre and Bourg-en-Bresse with 28 points (11/16 shooting, including 5/9 3-pointers), 6 rebounds for 23 ratings in 29 minutes!
A good omen, two days after having signed 14 points and 6 rebounds in the quarter-final first leg, under the eyes of the Hawks supervisors (GM Landry Fields, his assistant Kyle Korver and coach Quin Snyder), holders of the first choice of the 2024 Draft, who had traveled in large numbers to Bresse.
Alternating between outside threats and finishes in the circle, the 19-year-old winger even scored a 3-pointer in the corner to put his team back in the lead three minutes from the end (83-84). But it was Nanterre who won, 90-84, driven by a Bastien Pinault unleashed from afar (6/8). There will be a beautiful one in Bourg-en-Bresse on Tuesday.
Among the other evening matches, Tidjane Salaun (14 points) and Cholet returned to the ranks after surprising Paris Basket on their home field, during the quarter-final first leg. The Parisians responded by winning in the Mauges (72-90). For Tidjane Salaun too, there will be a great one to compete in Paris this Tuesday.
